This is not about whether there is a God or not. It is about people who
like to set their own rules, make their own definitions, and use that to
control the discussion.

I am not about to try and prove the existence of God. Its not my place, it
doesn't belong here, and I won't do it.

Unless you live under a rock, like your ancestors apparently did, you know
as well as I do that the writings being unearthed today in the middle east
are filled with journals, and writings, of people who say they were
witnesses to the life, death, and ressurection of Jesus Christ. The LDS
Church has scriptures and stories that testify to the visit of Jesus
Christ to ancient inhabitants of Central America. There are many
historical records from around the world that say the same thing. There
are many in our day who say they have seen Him, and you can laff, and you
can deride them, and you will choose to say that they are liars, but you
cannot say for sure that they did not see God. You can only say that you
don't believe them, and that is up to you to decide.

I don't much care if you believe it, and I wonder about it too, but the
FACT is that these are not just stories written by one person, and each of
the witnesses in these and other resources, all record the same thing,
even tho the people who wrote them were scattered across the globe, and
across time, with no internet or cell phone to coordinate their stories.
That much evidence demands that intelligent people consider it. An
intelligent person would check it out, consider it, and make a decision. A
fool just cries out that it is not really evidence.

You want to know about them, go look em up. Why should I do it for you?
Its really chessy and childish to just find a web site that agrees with
your point of view, and shove the URL into the post, like it is some kind
of authority that we ought to bow down to. People who do that are just
wasting everyone's time.

>Witnesses are generally not credible evidence in the first place.

Yikes!! Since when are witnesses generally not considered credible? Have
you notified the courts about this rule change? The entire justice system
is based on that principle. You are so far out on that one, you may NEVER
get back......

There are a lot of things that you believe in, which are only based on the
testimony of a witness. Its really unbelievable that you think your
witnesses are okay, and anyone else's are of no value.

We have no common ground from which to proceed, as you do not believe
that an eye witness is credible for anything, we are done.

As I told Kevin, people who like to discuss, listen to all sides, and make
a choice, areworthy of another's time and consideration. People who just
want to argue, stir the pot, and generally feel the need to put others
down, change the rules, the defintions, and the topic, in order to avoid
answering any questions are just total wastes.

I am betting you will say that I am doing that, but you are actually the
one who is deciding what is evidence, and what is not, based not on the
generally accepted terms, in order to insure that no one else can
participate.

One day, we will find out who is right, and who is wrong. Until that
time, you have no credibility from here.
